This is a function of your ISP. Look, ask there.

My ISP offers this and it requires a cgi-bin folder, a htpasswd within and a
htaccess file within the protected folder.

Visit here to see how it is done on Infinity Internet ISP site.

Just FYI, Don's reply is in reference to being hosted on the Apache server,
Unix platform. If you are hosted on a Windows Server you can restrict access
thru subweb permissions using FrontPage Server Extensions.
In addition, separate from both of these, most hosts offer a "control panel"
web page that typically supports applying permissions on directories of your
site.
